Inflatable paddle boards require pressurized air and, because they\u2019re inflatable, it\u2019s natural to wonder if they pop easily. The reality is, inflatable stand up paddle boards<\/a> are pretty hard to pop and are surprisingly durable. Especially the types of quality inflatable boards available today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, just because an inflatable SUP board may be built really well – and will not \u2018pop\u2019 during regular use, that doesn’t mean it\u2019s immune to damage.

However, it\u2019s important to explore this issue a little more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we get into the details, let’s talk a bit about what it means when an inflatable sup board \u201cpops\u201d as this too can be a bit of a misnomer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike what you might be imagining, especially if you’re new to paddle boarding, SUPs generally do not \u201cpop\u201d so to speak. Instead, if a paddle board has popped, this usually means it has actually sprung a leak, sustained a tear, or has been damaged in a way that causes it to lose air. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIs It Easy to Pop an Inflatable SUP?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
